I am going to meet my friend with benefits parents tomorrow night and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to leave a good impression on them. She will probs introduce me to them and we will talk for a short time, then we will go watch a movie or something. How do i leave a good impression on her mum and stepdad in a short time?

`Spark up a conversation. Comment on something that'll make them smile. Like if this girl looks like her mom, say "You have your mother's eyes" or something nice. BUT DONT GET TOO CARRIED AWAY!!! Otherwise you'll just sound creepy.

`Ask your lady what her parents are like so you can get some background information.

`Be upfront with them but respectful. I talk to my boyfriend's parents in a casual way. It takes the nervousness off the situation. IT DEPENDS ON THE KIND OF PARENT THOUGH!

But if you're just talking with them for a quick second then running off, The best thing to do is keep it short && simple. Like a "Hi I'm ____, nice to meet you *handshake*"

kaylagal agony auntYou're not in a relationship, it's just benefits (sex) so why are you meeting her parents. Sounds like it's more. Anyway, just be yourself and off course let them know you care about their daughter.

Why would you want to? You are just the guy who is shagging their daughter for a bit of fun. You are just her friend. You don't want to be too nice and give them the impression that you are a boyfriend as that could get pretty awkward.

You make it very clear that you are not her boyfriend so just act like a friend and be friendly.

Good Luck!! xx

Honeygirl agony auntThe first impression is what counts the most... take out all the facial piercings, make sure you have shaved and washed you hair, and are wearing clean clothes. When you meet the parents, dont forget the 'Sir' and 'Ma'am' and give a nice firm handshake!

I know you will be nervous but you must smile and when you talk to them look directly in their eyes.

I am a mother of a very popular 18yrd old daughter, and its only the ones that make a good first impression that get my nod.

Good Luck!
